His work has been collected and published widely

and with its gorgeous painterly glazing has a different personality from every angle

Solid Walnut Spinning Toy Top with Copper Detail sapolin gold leaf kit His work has been collectedI just love this solid walnut top as an object; such a beautiful shape! To make it spin, one would just need to wind a string around the wooden peg at top, inside of the copper handle, then hold the copper handle lightly while pulling the string to get it spinning. If this is too much effort, I'd just set it on a shelf or use it as a paperweight, picking it up occasionally, as it feels great in the hand. 4 1 2" tall x 2 3 4" in diameter. Overall good
